While I, too, welcome a time post-pandemic — a time to hug and be hugged — I also treasure the depth of support that is available through technology right now. Currently, I am being encouraged (like an Obstetrician saying to a newborn baby, “it is safe to breathe”) via “Mystics Summit” presented by The Shift Network.
Last evening I heard Rabbi Rami Shapiro speak about an upgrade in his thinking/experience around a familiar prayer, The Hail Mary.
Here is the new version, shared with permission:
-
Hail Chochma (if Chochma is too hard to pronounce try Sophia, Wisdom, Mother)
Full of grace
The Divine is you.
Blessed are you and all women
And Blessed is the fruit of your womb: all being
Holy Mother, fount of Wisdom
Guide us seekers now and into the moment of our death
Amen
May all beings welcome this upgrade….
